Default Drag racing food for thought.

Well ward as i see it and don't get me wrong more than one person has told me i see things in a warped way . But here we go actual rotaional mass is the amount of weight an engine has to over come too achieve torque and in drags racing the front tires on everthing become no less than half applied energy too the ground meaning they raise signefigantly so the weight of rotaional mass is greatly dereased do to less to no friction in the critical point of rotaional gain after max hp is is obtained the tires are returning to full ground contact and at that point rotaional mass is no longer a factor. i would be willing to put a small as i am poor bet on the fact the front rotaional weight is less than half the backs in the drag racing exp. excuss the spelling im tired been working on the bikes all day there in the toyhauler and im gone @6am to test this theory!!! hope that helps!!!

ps as any one who's seen me run the drags can tell you my front tires touch less than 20' in a 300' run [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

So basically once you reach a speed it is easier for the torque on the bike to keep it there.
